Holly Humberstone's Backstage Playlist Secrets

Singer-songwriter Holly Humberstone participated in Rolling Stone's Song Shuffle series backstage at the Gov Ball festival. She expressed her nerves about the unpredictable nature of the phone's song selection. Her playlist included Flyte's "Everyone's a Winner," which she lauded as a song by "the most underrated band of all time."

Humberstone then featured Big Thief's "Change," calling Adrianne Lenker a rare artist who might become a legend akin to Bob Dylan. She also reminisced about listening to Tom Petty's "Wildflowers" during her recent tour, describing it as a gorgeous love song with a dreamy quality.

The shuffle continued with Van Morrison's "Into The Mystic," a song Humberstone knows by heart and associates with road trips. She concluded with ML Buch's "Working it Out," calling the track and album "summer-y" and like a "hug."

Discussing her new LP 'Cruel World,' Humberstone mentioned writing it with live performances in mind. She finds playing with her band on stage to be the best feeling, emphasizing music's power to connect people.
